Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Usually lisinopril doesn't have any serious side effects.
Dizziness and lightheadedness are common side effects of it.
Lisinopril usually causes high potassium blood level, so I think the symptoms are more related to low potassium level rather then from lisinopril.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
